RE: RIP Big Ivan - Hawk Kriegsman - 05-02-2025

I never had the pleasure to cross swords with Big Ivan, but his passion for the game was obvious. 

He was an excellent moderator on these boards.  

He will be missed. 

A moment of silence-------------------.

Thank you, John for all you did to make this a better place.

I hoist a glass to you sir. 

cheers

Erik

I appreciate all you guys well-wishes, I only knew John for about 20 years, met him through gaming. He would always call me Friday nights and would chat about the latest CS news, and he would ask about what I was up to in the Squad Battles world. When Gwen called me Tuesday morning with the news, I was heartbroken, never met him in person, but felt as though we had known each other for longer than we actually did.

RIP buddy

Wow, just now seeing this and so sorry to hear. Longtime friend and opponent from playing this game and knew he had a bout with pneumonia previously.
Had just texted and talked with him a month or so ago and he said he was feeling better and doing good.
Sad to hear this. 
RIP John

Rest in peace John.
